This st%dy e$a#ines the link between se$%al ab%se and teenage &regnancy risk by analyzing beha"iors o8 o"er 9,,+++ Minnesotan /*th graders. :indings show that teens who re&ort incest or non8a#ilial se$%al ab%se are #%ch #ore likely to re&ort risk beha"iors associated with &regnancy. While #any other st%dies 8oc%s solely on 8e#ales and &regnancy, this st%dy also addresses #ales. Altho%gh a higher &ro&ortion o8 8e#ales re&orted ab%se, ab%sed #ales had greater odds o8 &regnancy in"ol"e#ent and risk beha"iors than 8e#ales re&orting the sa#e ab%se. The a%thors call 8or screening 8or se$%al ab%se, inter"entions, and increased ed%cation abo%t #ales 8or &regnancy &re"ention &rogra#s. My research e$a#ines the ca%ses o8 teen &regnancy and the inter"entions that #ay red%ce teen &regnancy. A8ter reading this st%dy, ) realized how little research e$its that e$a#ines #ales; risk beha"ior in relation to teen &regnancy. Most literat%re 8oc%ses on teen girls<<the &sychological and social 8actors that &%t the# at risk 8or teen &regnancy and the inter"entions that e$ist to red%ce teen &regnancy 8or girls.
